Automatic Choke Operation
When the engine is cranked, a rich mixture is delivered to
the engine. When the engine starts, air movement into the
carburetor causes the choke plate to open slightly against
the thermostatic spring pressure. As the engine warms up
the thermostatic coil unwinds and the choke plate gradually
opens.
